Bodyguards and Assassins 《十月围城》



We went to watch Bodyguards and Assassins at PS today, 10.30a.m show, super early.


The movie was not too bad; the fighting scenes were gruesome yet powerful. I like it how ordinary commoners like rickshaw pullers, entertainers, hawkers and beggars can come together with the rich and influential, and are willing to sacrifice themselves out of friendship, loyalty and country pride. I cried so many times during the movie, I don’t really like it when innocents die while the baddies continue going around killing more innocents :( boohoo~ It's funny to see Jacky Cheung appear for a few seconds in the beginning of the movie, then dying in a very anti-climax fashion. Leon Lai was this weirdo begger who miraculously got his messy hair all straightened out after a bath. Eric Tseng acted as a policeman with this hideous Bollywood style mustache. I especially like the acting of the old guy who acted as 李玉棠, his eyes portrayed emotions beyond words. If only the character重光 survived. HAIZ. Go watch, it's a nice movie.
